IIRC, back when ‘calc()’ was being proposed someone suggested to use some kind of brackets, ‘(’/‘)’ or ‘{’/’}’ or ‘[’/‘]’ or ‘<’/‘>’, to establish a special context inside values wherein the usual symbols ‘+’, ‘-’, ‘*’ and ‘/’ could be used to combine values. The plus sign could have been used with length and string values differently.
